Citizenship For Sale: Passports of Convenience From Pacific Island Tax Havens1 By Anthony van Fossen Griffith University e-mail: [email protected] Pacific Island tax havens have apparently collected $153,450,000 from (mostly ethnic Chinese) purchasers of passports. This paper considers the evolution of passport sales in Tonga, Samoa, the Marshall Islands, Vanuatu and Nauru and internal and international opposition to them. Tension exists between different conceptions of citizenship within the world-system. Sales reflect classical liberal, individualistic, free market conceptions of citizenship. Opponents invoke both conservative and democratic conceptions of citizenship. The paper favours democratic solutions to many problems sales create. Sales schemes involve secrecy, corruption, and facilitate crime—which attenuates following exposure by media, opposition politicians, watchdogs and crusaders against international terrorism. Pacific Island havens currently have no legal, official passport sales schemes, but the paper demonstrates that they probably continue. 2 Since 1970 people’s desire to migrate to states with favourable conditions has produced a market for passports of convenience (POCs).

    COUNCIL OF Brussels, 17 December 2007 THE EUROPEAN UNION 16257/07 VISA 384 COMIX 1054 NOTE from : General Secretariat to : Visa Working Party No. prev. doc. 15353/06 VISA 300 COMIX 962 Subject : Table of travel documents entitling the holder to cross the external borders and which may be endorsed with a visa - Part I Delegations will find attached Part I. 16257/07 PR/lm/cr 1 DG H 1 A EN GENERAL COMMENTS Collective passports: Portugal and Spain only recognise collective passports issued in accordance with the European Agreement on Travel by Young Persons on Collective Passports between the Member Countries of the Council of Europe of 16 December 1961 (for a maximum of 25 persons as far as Portugal is concerned). However, Portugal does consent to its partners affixing the uniform visa. Spain also accepts other collective passports on a case-by-case basis according to the rule of reciprocity. The visa is inserted on a loose leaf. Travel documents for stateless persons: Austria, Portugal and Iceland are not parties to the Convention on the Status of Stateless Persons, done at New York on 28 September 1954. They nevertheless consent to their partners affixing the uniform visa to documents issued by the States signatories to the Convention. Laissez-passer: A laissez-passer is, in general, only recognised for transit for the purpose of returning to the State of issue. The following provisions apply as far as GERMANY is concerned: The official identity documents listed in points 1 to 9 and issued by one of the States which Germany recognises internationally, but which have not yet been officially recognised, are accepted as passports or passport replacement documents even if they are not known, subject to certain conditions and in accordance with the law.
